This commonly occurs under the influence of [[stimulant|stimulating]] compounds and seems to at least partially stem from the fact that during an intense levels of stimulation, people typically become hyper focused on activities and tasks in a manner which can allow time to pass them by without realizing it. However, the same experience can also occur on [[depressant]] compounds which induce [[amnesia]]. This occurs due to the way in which a person can literally forget everything that has happened while still experiencing the effects of the substance, thus giving the impression that they have suddenly jumped forward in time. | This commonly occurs under the influence of [[stimulant|stimulating]] compounds and seems to at least partially stem from the fact that during an intense levels of stimulation, people typically become hyper focused on activities and tasks in a manner which can allow time to pass them by without realizing it.

Time compression will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as [[memory suppression]], [[focus enhancement]], [[stimulation]], and [[amnesia]] in a manner which may lead one into perceiving a disproportionately small number of events considering the amount of time that has actually passed in the real world.
